Loretta B. Mueller

Mueller, Loretta B. 87, of Plymouth, MN formerly of Rhinelander, WI passed away peacefully on February 2, 2018 surrounded by family. Born in DeKalb, IL, she married Lloyd R. Mueller of Sheboygan, WI in 1954. Loretta's family was her pride and joy and she loved to spend time with her children and grandchildren, although she always looked forward to family gatherings and reunions. Loretta's favorite activities included playing Bridge, cribbage, and shopping with her friends. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, particularly on cruises and attending Tin Can Sailor reunions. She also enjoyed listening to music, her favorite musical activity was watching Lawrence Welk every Saturday evening with Lloyd. Animals held a special place in her heart (dogs and hummingbirds seemed to touch her the most) and these life pleasures can at least partially be attributed to her early years on the family farm in Malta, IL. Preceded in death by her parents, Omil and Laura Stokke, her sister-in-law, Lois (John R. "Link") Lindquist. Survived by husband of 63 years, Lloyd R.; children, Bruce (Terri) of Barron WI, Sharon (Russ) Lewellen of Minnetonka MN, Brian (Sherry) of Wildwood MO; grandchildren, Bryan (Savannah), Brett, Kourtney, Cole, Heather, Megan, Blake; siblings, Norma Wiegartz, Richard (Laurel) Stokke; her brother-in-law, Ted (Beverly) Mueller, and many nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held on Monday, February 12, 2018 at 11:00 am, with visitation at 10:00 am at Peace Lutheran Church, Plymouth, MN. Interment at Fort Snelling National Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in her memory.
